These activities will take place across Dublin City neighbourhoods. These events can be one off to happen on the 11th June or be project based with the final outcome demonstrated on the 11th June. In exceptional cases activities involving schools may be considered for June 11th.  Activities are inclusive of all art forms and creative forms including but not limited to visual art, music, dance, drama, storytelling, puppetry, circus, street art, performance, coding, design, readings, poetry, architecture, etc. We are looking for innovative activities that foster creativity, encourage collaboration and engage a diverse audience.
